Hi Bill,

We were diving on Halfway Rock, between Gloucester and Boston, MA and saw these Doto fragilis which seem to be more of the one we have seen before .

Dear Paul,
Thanks for this nice photo of your northwest Atlantic Doto. I guess it's best to call it Doto fragilis at present, but we should keep in mind Bernard Piction's feelings about this group of species [message #7288 ].

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
